I recently shared on social media how I often create demo recordings of new compositions so I can hear and feel what works in the piece and what doesn’t. The example I used was from my piece “From the Stone Age” for SSA choir, piano, cello, and flute. 

Here’s my demo post on Facebook:

Do you already use recording devices and apps to practice and test out new works you’re learning or writing? If not, whether on your phone or in a dedicated recording studio, record yourself. Then, play it back and harmonize with your own voice – it’s great practice, and it’s fun.
